| Reverse description | A winged female allegorical figure of Victory or Liberty is portrayed in high relief at the center, her large spread wings extending nearly to the coin's border as she raises both arms dramatically upward in a gesture of triumph and liberation. The figure is depicted from a three-quarter frontal perspective, gazing upward, rendered in a bold and expressive sculptural style. The dates 1973 and 1976, stacked vertically, appear in the upper field above the figure, commemorating the third anniversary of the military coup. The circular legend 3ER. ANIVERSARIO DE LA LIBERACION DE CHILE runs along the periphery, with the Santiago mint mark 'S' visible in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the third anniversary of the September 1973 coup that removed Salvador Allende from power, this piece was commissioned by the Pinochet government as an explicit act of political commemoration. The junta moved quickly to reshape Chilean coinage into celebratory instruments, and the Casa de Moneda — which had continued striking currency through the chaos of 1973 without interruption — became a tool of that project.
KM#213 carries a low mintage and was sold primarily to foreign collectors and diplomatic contacts rather than circulated domestically.
